GROUND CLEARANCE

IN ADDITION to the strong, robust construction, the units often take into account ground clearance and are designed to suit. For example, OOT 4WD offers hi-capacity and hi-clearance versions of its Long Ranger. “The hi-capacity is the biggest tank we can get under there and still remains reasonable off-road; this is great for the outback tourer,” Ric said. “Then, for most popular makes, we have our unique hi-clearance designs; these are great and, in most cases, give the more adventurous off-roader a greater range and more clearance than the genuine fuel tank.”
